New to the group and new to importing MIBS. Please excuse. MIB’s are posted below
The issue: This is a newbie stuff so please refer me to the correct place if this is not. I am working with
a lab that uses fibre channel drives to boot from and am interested in pulling performance metrics for these drives.
I followed the FAQ for adding a new MIB but not sure if it is working correctly (mostly because I am new) and
secondly because the output I am receiving following the faq exactly as written using the CISCO-RHINO mib
does not return the expected values suggested in the FAQ. This is a binary distro on the following platforms I’ve tried:
Fedora Core 4
RHEl 3.0 WS Update 4
RHEL 4 WS Update 2
Whitebox 3.0
and I get the same result. I spent most of yesterday trying to figure it out and believe the majority of the
problem is my lack of knowledge of how it all fits together. I've read the all the FAQ's and docs which
actually did teach me a great deal but did not answer address my questions.
1. Is net-snmp able to use the FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB or the FCMGMT-MIB?
2. Is there another MIB related to FIBRE Channel that I can use instead?
3. I've read several posts of web sites where you can download new MIBS and install them but does it
always require a rebuild of the net-snmp suite or custom code writing?
Some details:
I've downloaded the FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB and a few others related to FIBER Channel and add them to the
/usr/share/snmp/mibs directory. Then as a test set the environment variable to MIBS=ALL.
I then use the snmptranslate -m +FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB -IR fcFxPortName
This returns:
FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB::fcFxPortName (Not a OID as the FAQ for adding MIBS suggests) Is this correct?
Also snmpwalk -v2c -c readonlystringhere -localhost fcFxPortName
Returns
FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB::fcFxPortName = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID
The above result is the same regardless of which MIB I try to import and use.
Thanks for your time and would appreciate a little hand-holding the first time through if anyone is willing.
